Vikram Misri said that you have been made aware of the cowardly activities of the Pakistani Army last night. It was an abolition action, targeting Indian cities and civilian infrastructure and some military hideouts. Indian military units answered them.
Pakistan claims that they did not attack any religious place. He attacked the gurudwara in Poonch. Instead of taking responsibility for these attacks, Pakistan is saying that the Indian Army is doing so. Pakistan is refusing to accept its antics and invasions and is trying to confuse the world.
Pakistan is saying that we have attacked Nankana Sahib. Pakistan is trying to give religious color to this matter. This is what has appeared in the Pahalgam attack.
